"Move You" was produced by Nick Ruth, who had written it with
Molly Kate Kestner and Amy Kuney. Even though Clarkson was listed as a co-writer by several media outlets, she later clarified that she was not a part of the writing process. It is a
soulful gospel ballad with a powerful drum-string combination. Jon Blistein of
Rolling Stone noted that Clarkson's vocals carries the song to a rapturous peak before descending gracefully, while
Forbess Hugh McIntyre opined that the song chucks the ideas of structure and goes straight for the heart, Thematically, Joe-Marie Mckenzie of
ABC News described its atmosphere as "dark", while McIntyre remarked that the ideas represented by the song may end up being stronger than the final musical product itself, though he also added that the singer's massive vocals won't let even that imagery steal the show entirely. Lyrically, it sings of wanting to have an incredible impact on another person. ==Release and reception==
